00140 liehe und gleichmäßige Abscheidung nicht gewährleistet 00141 ist. Die parasitären Ablagerungen führen zu einer Ver00142 schleppung einzelner Komponenten in die nachfolgenden 00143 Schichten hinein. Ferner reduziert diese Belegung die 00144 Effizienz der Elemente, besonders wenn die Einlassgeo00145 metrie eine im Vergleich zur Nutzfläche und große Ober00146 fläche aufweist. 00147 00148 Weiterhin ist die Gaseinlasseinheit typisch so gestal00149 tet, dass die effektive Trennung der Gase, die die 00150 thermisch unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften der Prekurso00151 ren erfordert, nicht gewährleistet ist. Die Folge sind 00152 unerwünschte Reaktionen einiger Gase in der Gasphase 00153 miteinander (d.h. Nukleation) , welche die Eigenschaft 00154 der abzuscheidenden Schicht negativ beeinflusst, z.B. 00155 Partikel oder Kontamination. Die Nukleation reduziert 00156 die Materialeffizienz und führt zur Kontamination der 00157 Schicht mit diesen Verbindungen. 00158 00159 Um die oben aufgeführten Nachteile zu reduzieren, wer00160 den heutige Gaseinlässe typischerweise prozesstechnisch 00161 weit von den zu beschichtenden Oberflächen entfernt 00162 angeordnet, d.h. entweder räumlich oder durch Wahl der 00163 Prozessparameter (z.B. sehr niedrigen Druck bzw. große 00164 Reynold Zahlen) . Die derzeit bekannten Reaktoren zeich00165 nen sich daher durch eine niedrige Effizienz (deutlich 00166 kleiner als 25%) , d.h. nur ein geringer Anteil der 00167 eingeleiteten Elemente deponieren in der brauchbaren 00168 funktionalen Schicht. 00169 00170 Somit sind die Schichteigenschaften, hergestellt mit 00171 solchen Systemen, nicht optimal und auch die Wirtschaft00172 lichkeit solcher Systeme ist nur gering. 00173 00174 Zur Sublimation der festen Prekursoren werden überlich- 00175 erweise Verdampferquellen verwendet, die durch die Wahl 00176 des Behälterdrucks und Temperatur das Quellenmaterial00140 lie and uniform deposition is not guaranteed 00141 is. The parasitic deposits lead to dragging of individual components into the subsequent 00143 layers. Furthermore, this assignment reduces the 00144 efficiency of the elements, especially if the inlet geometry has a large surface area compared to the usable area. 00147 00148 Furthermore, the gas inlet unit is typically designed in such a way that the effective separation of the gases, which requires the 00150 thermally different properties of the precursors 00151, is not guaranteed. The result is 00152 undesirable reactions of some gases in the gas phase 00153 with one another (ie nucleation), which negatively influences the property 00154 of the layer to be deposited, for example 00155 particles or contamination. The nucleation 00156 reduces the material efficiency and leads to contamination of the 00157 layer with these compounds. 00158 00159 In order to reduce the above-mentioned disadvantages, who 00001 160 would typically position today's gas inlets far from the surfaces to be coated 00162 in terms of process technology, ie either spatially or by choosing the 00163 process parameters (eg very low pressure or large 00164 Reynold numbers). The currently known reactors are therefore characterized by low efficiency (clearly 00166 less than 25%), ie only a small proportion of the elements introduced in 00167 are deposited in the usable 00168 functional layer. 00169 00170 The layer properties produced with 00171 systems of this type are therefore not optimal and the economy of such systems is also only low. 00173 00174 For sublimation of the fixed precursors 00175 evaporator sources are used, by the choice 00176 of the container pressure and temperature the source material

Bei 00368 der in Figur 1 dargestellten Vorrichtung sind diese 00369 Behälter unmittelbar auf dem Deckel 14 des Reaktors 10 00370 angeordnet . Bei dem in Figur 5 dargestellten Ausfüh00371 rungsbeispiel sind die beiden Behälter 5, 5' etwas 00372 entfernt vom Reaktor 10 angeordnet. In den Behältern 5, 00373 5 ' befinden sich Tanks 1, 3. Diese Tanks wirken als 00374 Quelle für die Ausgangsstoffe. In den Tanks 1, 3 befin00375 den sich flüssige Ausgangsstoffe 2, 4. Die Ausgangsstof00376 fe können auch fest sein. Im Innern der temperierten 00377 Behälter 5, 5' herrscht eine derartige Temperatur, dass 00378 die in den Tanks 1, 3 befindlichen Ausgangsstoffe 2, 4 00379 verdampfen.

Die aus den Mündungstrichtern 27, 28 00460 austretenden Gase verteilen sich in den Volumina 22, 23 00461 gleichmäßig. 00462 00463 Die in einem Mehrkammer-Showerhead vorgesehene Zwischen00464 platte 18 besitzt Öffnungen, von welchen Röhrchen 24 00465 ausgehen, die das Volumen 23 durchragen und mit der 00466 Bodenplatte 17 derart verbunden sind, dass das im Volu00467 men 22 befindliche Gas nicht in Kontakt tritt, mit dem 00468 im Volumen 23 befindlichen Gas. In der Bodenplatte 17 00469 befinden sich abwechselnd zu den Öffnungen 26 der Röhr00470 chen 24 Öffnungen 25, aus welchen das in dem Volumen 23 00471 befindliche Gas austreten kann. 00472 00473 Die in den Volumen 22, 23 befindlichen Gase treten 00474 durch die düsenartig ausgebildeten Öffnungen 25, 26 in 00475 einem homogenen Strömungsfeld aus. 00476 00477 Aus den Öffnungen 25, 26 treten die Gase turbulent aus. 00478 Sie formen jeweils einen Strahl, so dass sich die aus 00479 nebeneinander liegenden Öffnungen 25, 26 austretenden 00480 Gasströme erst unmittelbar oberhalb des Substrates 12 00481 innerhalb der in der Figur 6 mit d bezeichneten Grenz00482 schicht mischen. Oberhalb der Grenzschicht d verlaufen 00483 die Strahlen 36 im Wesentlichen parallel zueinander, 00484 ohne dass zwischen ihnen eine nennenswerte Durchmischung 00485 stattfindet. Im Abstand d ist eine nahezu homogene 00486 Gasfront ausgebildet. 00487 00488 Bei dem in Figur 2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel 00489 sind die beiden Volumina 22, 23 unabhängig voneinander 00490 thermostatierbar. Bei dem in Figur 6 dargestellten 00491 Ausführungsbeispiel ist das einzige Volumen 22 ther os-00455 of the essentially cylindrical body of the gas inlet 00456 let unit 15 open the channels 20 and 21 in radially 00457 outer mouth funnels 27 and 28, which are located on 00458 the outer periphery of the cylindrical volumes 00459 22, 23. The gases emerging from the mouth funnels 27, 28 00 460 are evenly distributed in the volumes 22, 23 00 461. 00462 00463 The intermediate 00464 plate 18 provided in a multi-chamber showerhead has openings from which tubes 24 00465 extend, which protrude through the volume 23 and are connected to the 00466 base plate 17 such that the gas in the volume 22 does not come into contact, with the 00468 gas in volume 23. In the base plate 17 00469 there are alternating to the openings 26 of the tubes 00470 chen 24 openings 25, from which the gas in the volume 23 00471 can escape. 00472 00473 The gases in the volumes 22, 23 exit 00474 through the nozzle-like openings 25, 26 in 00475 in a homogeneous flow field. 00476 00477 The gases emerge turbulently from the openings 25, 26. 00478 They each form a jet, so that the 00480 gas streams emerging from 00479 side by side openings 25, 26 only mix directly above the substrate 12 00481 within the boundary 00482 layer denoted by d in FIG. Above the boundary layer d, the rays 36 run 00483 essentially parallel to one another, 00484 without any significant mixing 00485 taking place between them. An almost homogeneous 00486 gas front is formed at a distance d. 00487 00488 In the exemplary embodiment 00489 shown in FIG. 2, the two volumes 22, 23 can be thermostatted independently of one another.
